Sparkly ThreadsLogo Design Contest

Here are a couple to start you...I realized the first entry is a little small. If you need to see it larger let me know.

Any of the elements, fonts, lines, colors layout etc may be changed or interchanged with my other entries.

If you see any style that you like in my portfolio it will help me know what direction to go for you.

I will add some others for you throughout your Open phase.

Thank you!
Teresa

Hi! Thanks for your entries. I went through your portfolio and like sweet life and for the love of a cupcake. I'm not sure what it was about them, but I loves them both! I hope this helps! Thanks again!! Candace

Hi Candace,

I will add more for you tomorrow and think about the style possibility.

Thank you for getting back with me.

Have a restful evening,
Teresa

Thank you, you too!!

on #33
I can add more color bands on the outside or increase the pt. size if you like to see this.

thank you
Teresa

I like all of the ones with the colored circle/ovals I'm just worried about when I use it in print. Not sure if it will show up with all the ways I will use it.

#34 for the above comment.
The other had an adjustment I needed to make on the stitch line.

Unfortunately I think I should remove the ovals since doncovair did his 4mins before mine. I sent him a message to see if we could work something out but haven't heard back...
I used the same method back on the circles.

I'm sure you will be stitching, there shouldn't be any problem with print maybe there would be too many stitches on the solids...so I added the circles without the solid background.

Let me know if you would want to see any versions on these.

I will check back shortly.

Thank you!

Doncorvair got back with me and we are okay there so I reinstated them.

Thank you!

#35 the script is original handwritten for you.

Would you like to see any alteration or variations on this?

Thanks! Looks great!

No, the font is my favorite!

I think #44 is actually my favorite but I am not digging the dark background. Can you make it white? or lighter?

Just returned and will do this for you within the hour.

Thank you for getting back

Hi,

Here is #57

I changed the swirls because I realized that it may not have been enough difference in The Sweet Life swirls.
I like to make sure that each design is unique and it didn't see enough so.

The stitch depiction on your name and the swirls/leaves is a little different that the circles. but I think I still need to clean up a couple of spots that are incomplete as the dashed lines sometimes are tricky to get the spacing and size of the dots or squares correct

Let me know your thoughts and I will continue to work on some others for you based on your notes.

Thank you
Teresa

Trying to simplify it for you.

Here is another #58

And the style on #59 may be used as well any of the others with each stitch being different colors or hues of a color. This one is not gradients but solid spot colors in each rectangle to give the appearance of sparkle with the added white rectangles.

Let me know what you think

Ok I am thinking the colors aren't dark enough? it just doesn't seem to pop. I definitely like the swirls on the one that has the darker background but don't care for the darker background as I am worried it may not show up as del. Thanks so much for all the changes!!! i just keep going back and forth! :)

I understand....

I will see what else I can do for you

#68 is with gradients for you to see what that would look like...any colors could apply
#64 is the same with solid spot colors.

Thought I would try this by opening up the center with variations for you to see another possibilities. the centers of blue can also be removed to a white background as well. I'll do that before I sign out tonight

I will check back shortly for any comments.

Tomorrow I will be away all day teaching art and will check back in the evening when I return.

Have a restful evening
Teresa

In #69 I didn't use the hand drawn letters on this one because it was too busy.

But it gives you another possibility.

And 1 more before signing off...

Also I hope you don't mind, I removed the designs below 30 but can add them back if you want me to.

Thank you once again,
Teresa

Hi Candace

Just some important notes for your client to consider....
While designing your logo I am considering all of the following.

You know the name is the most important part of the logo, so it is important to recognize any elements that interfere with its visibility

I kept the design simple so that additional details don't interfere with the impact of your name and with colors, lines, font and layout especially with the 'perfect' circle to draw the viewer's eye into your name.
If too much going on in the design your name will be lost.

There is a split second that tells the viewer who you are...and visually capture your name for long term memory.

Red or red hues are considered 'impact colors'...they will not be missed and in most cases cannot be overlooked because this color draws and hold attention the longest. Especially when used with hues of complimentary or companion colors.The dark background you initially didn't like doesn't necessarily interfere with the design but holds it together..it could be the color of fabric or a full bleed print on a card or signage or color background on your website....the darkest jewel tones will make the other colors jump out at the viewer. Any additional consultation regarding all applications I will be happy to help you.

Considering all your applications including the stitching/embroidering the 'impact' should be a strong factor.

Your logo or branding is who you 'are' first and what you 'project' for your business. Then finally the market group and the feel and personality of the business...who are you wanting to 'draw in'.
Much of design is subjective, much of what the client sees is a personal connection, the public isn't critiquing the design...they are relating to who you are and what you are offering them.

If there is anything in my designs that I did for you that you would like to interchange in the elements of color, layout, fonts etc. I can easily do that for you, just let me know.

Thank you!
Teresa
